Violence has broke out in Lagos State over the scarcity of the new naira notes and the hardship the policy has brought on residents of the state.
It was gathered that suspected hooligans in Mile 12, Ketu and Ojota areas took to the road attacking commuters and creating chaos.
Tweeps, who shared details of the ongoing crisis in the area, alleged they could hear sounds of gunshots.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has confirmed the unrest happening in Mile 12 area of the state.
Hundeyin via his Twitter handle said reinforcement units have been deployed to the area.
Responding to a tweet asking the PPRO to confirm the rumour, Hundeyin replied: “ It is true. Our men are there. Reinforcement units have been deployed. Stay safe out there as we closely monitor and manage the situation.”
